I trust you have enjoyed this unusual two page feature, of a company that is not well known in the larger world of shipping. Yet for those who sailed on their passenger-cargo ships they will have countless wonderful memories of their days onboard these fine vessels, and enjoyed the finest service and cuisine.
Photographs in the pages as well as the deck plans are all out of a RZAL Booklet I own, and I have been delighted to present them to you, for without this brochure, this feature could never have come into reality!
